SNAKE SWIM. that's all i have to say about tonight's swim practice. it was called a 'snake swim.' i am terrified of snakes, so i was terrified before practice. but it turns out we just swam in a sort of group-snake-like formation, everybody in the same direction at the same time. so we were on top of or beside or kicked in the face and bumped by one another. it was to simulate the race and it was kind of awesome but totally not awesome. (bet you can't wait to try one!)
anyways, thank god there were no actual snakes involved in the swim itself. i'm terrified of them. and don't even get me started on sharks. -- john
